The k-shell index predicts the average influence of spreading more reliably than in-degree and PageRank.

Logarithmic values of average size of influence region M(kS, kin) when spreading originates in nodes with (kS, kin) for LJ (a), APS (c), Facebook (e) and Twitter (g) are shown. The same analysis with PageRank is also presented in (b),(d),(f),(h). In general, spreading is larger for nodes of higher kS, whereas nodes of a given kin or PageRank can result in either small or large spreading.
